The instrumental parts to the Kyrie were written by two unknown musicians - the trumpets and timpani being written in a different hand to the other instrumental additions. While Freystädtler and Eybler can be shown not to have contributed to these, it is currently unknown as to who this might have been.
One potential clue is that the top and middle 'Allo' marks on f.5v were made by the same person who added the 'Allo' mark to the fourth movement of the String Quintet in c minor, K.506. The autograph of that work is in the British Library (Add. MS. 31748). It's undoubtedly the same hand - I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed that. Perhaps this might be some clue?
